How do Rape Laws "Rape" Thee? Let Us Count the Ways!

SAVE Services has published an excellent, highly informative article concerning the "state of the art" of rape prosecution in the USA. The article summarizes, in a drily factualistic manner, what you'll be facing if (heaven forbid!) you ever get accused of rape in this country. I am grateful to SAVE for sharing such information, but is this the sort of thing which earned them a place on the Southern Poverty Law Center hate-watch list?

The SAVE article is titled How Rape Laws Remove the Presumption of Innocence, and you may read it here:

Point of special interest: the article informs us that in the state of Washington (where I live), presumption of innocence does not exist for the defendant in a rape trial. That is, that the burden of proof is on the defendant to show that no rape occurred. And that is why I, if I were called to rape jury duty in this state, would not vote for conviction under any circumstance.
